Tomorrow, Thursday, Apr 30, Lillian (the dog) and I will be leading another of this season’s Morning Birdsong Walks at the Pittock Mansion.  Sponsored by Portland Audubon, the walks are free and open to all.  No registration required.  Meet at the Pittock Mansion parking lot at 7AM.  The walks last about 2 hours, but you’re free to leave whenever you need.  Note: this year the Pittock walks will be held on THURSDAYS.
